Why not? Because is not perfect? Such is life. And still, I am sure those people that have received proper care and survived are grateful enough.

Or are you arguing that additional measures are needed both at the individual and at the social/political level to prevent the worst outcomes. There I agree 100%.

Yes that's exactly what I'm arguing. The commenter to whom I replied initially was arguing against the need for other measures stating that "THE" solution was healthcare.

I didn't mean to kick off an argument, I just think it is useful to keep things clear. You have a good point about healthcare alone not solving the problem.

No - thanks for correcting me - I wasn't aware that proper treatment for the side-effects of the virus had such a big impact on the mortality rate. I certainly didn't mean to argue against healthcare, just against it as a sole solution, which we all seem to be in agreement on :)
